As the time approaches, the news of the arrival of the ironclad ship has created a trend in the court.
The world is at peace, and various novel and eye-catching technologies are frequently emerging from Eastern Suburb University.
Skyscrapers have appeared, and research and preparations have even begun in the capital to break ground.
The mood in the court was quite high regarding the enthusiasm for various scientific creations.
Li Yuanzhao didn't need to mention it anymore, he was already impatient.
But this time even Emperor Jing was looking forward to it.
The day the armored ship arrived at Jiangling Port and the news came back, Emperor Jing immediately made his decision.
On holiday, Xiu took hundreds of officials to inspect the ironclad ship in person.
When Xiu's holiday arrived, Emperor Jing's chariot was put on the train to Jiangling Port.
As the most prosperous port in Dajing at the moment, the train linking it to the capital has already been built.
Inside the first-class compartment of the train.
Emperor Jing was sitting on the sofa, with Li Yu and Fang Chenyu beside him.
Emperor Jing asked questions from time to time, and the two little ones answered at the side.
Li Yuanzhao and Fang Zhengyi sat across from each other. Li Yuanzhao looked at the scenery outside the window, acting a little impatient.
Fang Zhengyi watched his son chatting with his grandfather with a smile.
Although this little brat at home says he is not good at studying, he is still good at talking and doing things, and he is very popular.
The father and son had their first quarrel in the study that day. The next day, Fang Zhengyi took his son on a day trip to Fusi, Beizhen.
I visited some small toys for unfilial people in some prisons.
The father and son settled their differences on the spot.
However, Fang Zhengyi also figured out that his son could fall in love with whoever he wanted, and the young man had no control over it during his rebellious period.
Although the thoughts in a man's mind are dirtier than an overflowing toilet that has not yet been flushed, his yearning for pure love is also quite passionate.
Although my son is quite smart, he is too protective in some aspects and seems a bit naive in his interpersonal relationships.
In the past, he trained his children according to modern training ideas, but Fang Chenyu was a bit late to mature. This late maturity could be fatal in this era.
He should be more mature than the average person, otherwise how will he survive in the changing times and shoulder the destiny of the Fang family?
We can only wait until Fang Chenyu is older, and as a loving father, he personally takes his son to Xueyue Tower to see the world and open his eyes...
.......
The train was very fast. It took only half a day to travel from two days to Gangneung Port.
Countless guards had already gathered outside Jiangling Port, and the Jin Yiwei even lined up at the train station exit to greet them.
When Emperor Jing's officials arrived at the port, their eyes were immediately attracted by the giant thing staying on the sea!
The waves on the beach are swaying slightly and the sea breeze is blowing.
Under the dazzling sunshine, a giant steel ship nearly a hundred meters long was moored in the port.
The entire body has been painted with lacquer, and the original color of the metal cannot be seen.
But with the metallic luster shining in every corner, you can still feel that this ship is extraordinary!
While the officials were discussing, Fang Chenyu and Li Yu gathered together and whispered: "Your Highness, will we sit on the boat and go for a run today?"
"It's impossible to run around, but we should be able to go up and have a look."
"Hey...what's the point of not opening it? I'll ask my grandfather later."
Emperor Jing stopped for a long time and said, "Who can tell me what exactly this ship is famous for?"
Fang Zhengyi stood out from the crowd.
Feng Jie, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, originally stretched out half of his body, but he was not as quick as others, and he retracted angrily.
When it comes to the construction of this ship, he is the person who knows the details best. The research and development progress will definitely be sent to the capital and divided into two books, one for the Ministry of War and one for Fang Zheng.
I originally wanted to show off today, but I didn't expect Fang Zhengyi to be so... skilled!
"Your Majesty, this ship is an iron-clad ship that has been developed for a long time by the Ministry of War and Dongjiao University. This ship is about thirty feet long. It is the longest warship in our country at the moment. There are a hundred cannons on the left and right sides of the ship. The most exquisite thing is that there is a rotating turret on the front and rear decks. This turret can rotate in one circle and shoot flexibly in all directions."
"Both in terms of offensiveness and accuracy, it far exceeds that of traditional warships!"
Emperor Jing laughed: "Rotating the turret? This is a wonderful idea. Keep talking."
"Although this ship is called an ironclad ship, it is not made of pure steel. To be precise, it should be called iron-clad wood. Of course, the proportion of steel in the entire ship is extremely high, and all core components and positions are made of Made of steel. This also makes the protection of this ship, which no warship in the world can penetrate!"
"During the verification process of this ship, the Ministry of War used artillery to test the hull. From a distance of forty feet, it could only make a dent in the hull, and the overall impact was almost zero."
Fang Zhengyi said impassionedly, "I won't say much about the external things. The most important thing is the connotation. The most powerful thing about this ship is the heart modified from a steam engine. Its powerful power is enough to drive this ship in the future. Galloping in all directions on the sea.”
"The interior of the ship has many designs that are different from those of a sail warship. Seeing is worse than hearing about it. Why don't you, Your Majesty, board the ship with your ministers and take a look?"
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, he licked his lips.
He also provided many modern ideas for the construction of this ship.
However, all the knowledge about this ship came from paper data. Today was the first time for him to check it in person, and he was somewhat looking forward to it.
Emperor Jing raised his hand with a happy face and said: "Okay, let's board the ship and check it out."
Following Emperor Jing's order, hundreds of officials then began to board the ship one by one.
Entering the ship, Fang Zhengyi has no role to play.
There are dedicated personnel inside to introduce various facilities, including specific data of the entire ship.
The entire ship is divided into four floors, with many functional areas, and the humanized design is particularly outstanding.
Looking at it, Emperor Jing nodded repeatedly and exclaimed that it was wonderful.
You must know that in the past, when Da Jing had not opened the sea, Da Jing's sailors could be said to be the least popular arms.
The experience I had on the ship in the past was hard to describe.
But looking at it this time, in addition to the regular dormitory area, war room, warehouse, and medical room, the ship has.
There is also a dedicated recreation room, gym and public study room.
The most ingenious design is naturally the power room.
With Emperor Jing in front, hundreds of officials lined up in a long queue and crowded in the narrow aisle of the cabin.
When the door to the power room opened, Fang Zhengyi walked in with Emperor Jing.
There were several sets of large steam engines inside, connected with dazzling pipes. Emperor Jing was immediately shocked.
Heart, this is the heart of the ship!
The level of complexity was so high that he couldn't see any way out.
Although we have already known that steam engines have endless magical uses, every time we see something modified by steam engines, it always makes people feel more magical.
Fang Zhengyi knew this area very well and took the initiative to introduce it: "Your Majesty, this is the most confidential part of the battleship. As long as the power room is not damaged, it is almost impossible to damage the entire battleship. There are five most elite and careful people in this room. The soldiers are responsible for control, and one soldier is responsible for command. A group of six people rotates in three groups every day, which is enough to ensure that the warship sails at sea day and night without making any mistakes."
Looking at the several soldiers standing upright in the room, Fang Zheng stepped forward and picked out two energetic-looking ones and asked, "What are your names?"
"Xiao Yan." "Tang San."
"You're all responsible for that!"
"The one who burns the boiler!" "The one who fills the boiler with water!"
"Okay, tell your Majesty your knowledge of burning boilers in detail!"
